There was a fair demand, and, in spite OF
the declining outside markets. sellers were
enabled to get almost as much for milling
wheat as on the preceding day. Receipts
were 176 cars, and shipments So. Samples
were not very plenty on the tables, and nearly
all the wheat offered was sold before the
close. Duluth reported 76 cars on track.

THE SALARY ACT,

If Judge Bucks decision declar
Ing the Salary Act as null and void
should be accepted, it will cause 6
raid to be made upon the treasures
of the various counties, and the
good effect of the law will be lost
1t is not to be expected that any
county official will be patriotic
enough to accept salary when the
courts decide that he is entitled to
a larger sum under the old law OF
fees and commissions. The salary
law was passed by the last legisla.
ture in response to a popular de-
mand, and candidates, generally,
on both tickets expressed their will
ingness to accept Office with the
understanding that if such a law
passed they would abide by it. The
saving made by Alturas county
amounts to considerable, but unless
Judge Bucks decision is reversed
the money saved will be the object
of general scramble among those
of the officials who have been af.
tected by the Salary Act.

With this issue the KEYSTONE
commences its seventh volume.
The publisher is content to let the
paper speak for itself, Justly appre-
ciating the many kind words said
in it's behalf, and in the future as
in the past, the aim Of the KEYSTONE
will be to make it reliable, readable
and progressive. TO some of the
subscribers it is incumbent to say a
few plain words. 1t requires money
to run paper just the same as any
other business and it must be APP
parent to altogether too many, that
they owo for their paper. Parties
right in town who appear eager to
receive their weekly paper do not
show any great amount of alacrity
IN paying for the same and this can
be construed to a general invita-
ton to all in arrears to pay up. 1t
is just the kind of Christmas pres
ent that any delinquent subscriber
can best make to this office and be
sure Of getting one in return-a
receipt in full.

THE MANITOBA ROAD.

There is about as much of a pros
pect for the Manitoba railroad be-
ing built to Wood River as it is to
extend its line to the Hawaiian
islands, and the talk INDUCED in
concerning the matter is equally
ridiculous as the Wanted gold belt
road that has been built on paper
for two years past. Neither project
Is feasible, and more than that it is
not the intention of President Hill
of the Manitoba road to build this
way. The Manitoba road is seek
ing an outlet on the Pacific coast,
and while the truth of the report is
not admitted, it is generally re-
garded that the extension eastward
of the Seattle Lake Shore and East
ern railroad is with the view of
connecting with the Manitoba road.
The only promise of another rail
road lies in the possibility of of the
Chicago and Northwestern entering
this section to connect with the Or
egon Pacific road that is now being
rapidly pushed forward in this d.
rection. Vice President Nash, of
the latter road, says that such con-
nection will be made at Boise City,
and If so, the Wood River country
will not be left out. The Manitoba
boom is all nonsense.

no SHOW FOR STATEHOOD.

Two bills have been introduced
in the senate for the admission Of
the State of Washington. Senator
Dolphi's does not attempt to despoil
any part of Idaho. Senator Voor.
hees of Indiana ALSO had bill OF
the same import, but being absent
it was introduced by his colleague
Senator Turpie which provides for
the admission of Washington, Da.
kota, Montana and New Mexico.
This bill gives North Idaho to
Washington and was read twice
and referred to the committee on
territories where it will probably
sleep during the rest of the session.
There is but poor chance for any
admission bill to be passed this
session of congress. Delegate Vor-
bees writes home to his constitu-
ents that there is no possibility of
the admission of Washington as a
state till after the next presidential
election. He has twice been elected
to Congress on the promise that he
and his pa would bring the terri
tory in as a democratic state,
